catch up.

so obviously it's been a while with no updates...stetson is growing and changing so much. he has 8 teeth and is starting to gnaw on things toward the back of his mouth so i think he might be getting some back there soon. he started standing up on his own the day before he turned 14 months!...i'm partially relieved to have confirmation that he's developing...we have to go back to the doctor at the end of this month so they can see how he's doing and determine if he needs physical therapy. i'm hoping he won't. he hadn't started crawling on all 4s or putting weight on his legs at his 1 year appt. so we've had a lot of progress. i've finally figured out that he won't do anything until he's good and ready. he's also eating all kinds of table food now...a couple of months ago i couldn't get him to eat anything but baby food. he loves just about any kind of bean...green beans, black beans, refried beans...rice, chicken, potatoes, corn, strawberries, watermelon, cucumber, green bell pepper, toast, cheese grits, oatmeal...and just about anything you give him off your own plate. he still doesn't really like sweets which is just fine with me. and his favorite snack is the little gerber cheese puffs. his naps are a little chaotic right now. he just wants to practice standing up instead of sleeping. but he's still sleeping really well at night...most of the time from 8pm to 8am at least. that is a treat! he still tries to mimic us a lot...whatever sounds or words we say. and i'm still surprised when he actually does what i tell him to. it's amazing when you realize they know what you're saying and are capable of doing it. all in all, he is still such a joy and i'm so thankful to be his mama.
